    looking for a datsun 240z

    Hi mate I don't blame you... Was looking to go that route as well by finding a nicer example and just changing the bulk head... But there's a chap up in Yorkshire if I can remember correctly who had one but wanted good amount of money for it... Since then I haven't seen or heard any bulk heads...

    looking for a datsun 240z

    My friend to buy a Datsun from Japan, Australia or New Zealand which all the cars are RHD are ridiculously expensive.... My source in Japan who I've used to import my previous cars and parts has been keeping me up to date with the prices and as I said before the cheapest he's come across that...

    looking for a datsun 240z

    Agreed I couldn't have word it any better..... I just prefer my cars to be RHD and as I own 6 jap cars and am a massive jap fan I just prefer to have my 240 RHD original Datsun jap sports car! Never knew this would be a massive dispute! Lol... Thanks for understanding mate and thanks for...

    there will always be people all around the world who will cut corners... but again the cars you have seen might have bumped into the garages who will only cater for the customers needs.. you pay for what u get.. but there are really good body shops in america who do restoration work in fact many...

    what a lovely car! love the colour! would ideally like to buy a full running car like that but i want to go a different route with my car! as much as i love them standard i would like to make mine look more like a retro stanced car with wider wheels (sorry just my taste) therefore most of the...

    looking for a datsun 240z

    i totally agree with you datsfun! i have been quoted nearly 35k to restore a shell! which i can understand the time and effort that these guys put in but the shell i wanted to restore in my honest opinion wouldn't have cost near that much to get it clean and fabricated The chap who did my...

    looking for a datsun 240z

    As i said numerous times i'm very aware on the issues and challenges ahead... my concern is that the body shops don't like big jobs and charge a lot of money as today's garages like quick and simple jobs which is understandable... please can we move on....

    Of course my fabrication skills are limited my friend as is many others.... If any of us did fabrication work everyday of our lives then taking on big projects wouldn't have been an issue! Regardless if you buy a Californian one or a uk one either way they all will need restoring.. I'm sure you...

And I've never worked on a 240z so after doing months of research I'm fully aware on the major issues I will be...

    looking for a datsun 240z

    Johnny has kindly offered me to go view his collection before but again I didn't want to waste his time as I want an original right hand drive car... They seem to be very hard and rare to find... The ones I've seen need mahout surgery! But once restored in its glory it will be worth more than a...

    looking for a datsun 240z

    I agree with you Johnny :( I did fall in love with th car! I mean who wouldn't!! Lol the passenger side inner wing was no good and finding a replacement panel is extremely hard to find... On the other hand the floor pan was recently done along side with the chassis rail and the boot was clean so...
